In stunning comeback, Carney’s Liberals win Canada’s federal election
The result marked a reversal in fortunes for a party that was on track for a massive drubbing only months ago and capped a campaign upended by Trump.

@mitofficial.bsky.social this is an important start. But you need to follow the lead of your cousin up the river (Harvard) and call out government actions as the assault on science and knowledge and humanity that they are. orgchart.mit.edu/letters/furt...

Where the trade war with China could go: 1) Trump retaliates again 2) China retaliates by stopping buying, or selling, US Treasury bonds 3) T bond market collapses. (Interest rates skyrocket ) 4) Trump retaliates by defaulting on debt to (at least) China 5) economic chaos

He must have shorted the market. It’s the only thing that makes sense . If he did and gets away with it, the old evil or stupid debate is finally settled - evil. If he did not, well, he is just stupid.

Thank you @cantwell.senate.gov . I am sure it was my call to your office this morning, asking for exactly this that led to your decision to do this. :-)

Here is a list curated by a friend of NIH grants that she knows that have been cancelled. Take a minute to explore it. (It works better on a PC than on a phone.) The scope is breathtaking and appalling. People will die. airtable.com/appjhyo9NTvJ...

I used to criticize those who called for the abolishment of ICE. I now see I was probably wrong. But more importantly, we need to punish its ultimate boss. Without due process, no one is safe, even if you are a citizen. How could you prove it?

Trump is upset by Canada taxing electricity sold to the US , so he puts a tariff on the electricity bought by Americans. So he’s upset that Americans are having to pay too much for electricity, and his solution is to make them pay even more for electricity. Did I get that right?

Maybe something good will come out of this. Maybe a few Supreme Court justices , senators, representatives, or even the President will decide not to comply. THAT could solve the problem.

Undocumented immigrants sometimes pay INTO social security, but they cannot collect. Removing them from Social Security hurts the solvency of the system and does nothing to help America or Americans.
